Psalms 63

1 A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

Ry Andrianañahare, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko; hitsoek’ azo iraho; miheahea azo ty fiaiko, misalala azo ty sandriko hoe an-tane kànkañe vozake tsy aman-drano,

2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

Ho treako amy miavakey ao irehe, hahaisake ty haozara’o naho ty enge’o.

3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

Toe soa te amo haveloñeo ty fiferenaiña’o, hisabo Azo o soñikoo.

4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

Hañandriañe Azo t’ie mbe veloñe; i tahina’oy ty hañonjonako tañañe.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

Anjañe ty fiaiko hoe aman-tso-kena naho solike, vaho mandrenge Azo an-tsoñy mifale ty vavako,

6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

ie mahatiahy Azo am-pandreañe ao, naho mitsakore Azo am-pijilovan-kaleñe.

7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

Ihe ro mpañolotse ahiko, naho an-kalon’ela’o ao ty hirebehako.

8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

Mipitek’ ama’o ty fiaiko; manohañe ahy ty fità’o havana.

9 But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Fe hajoroboñe an-tsikeokeok’ao ze mipay handrotsake ty fiaiko;

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

Havariñe an-kaozara’ i fibaray iereo ho tsindrohe’ ty farasy.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

Andriañahare ty irebeha’ i Mpanjakay, mirañorañoa ze hene mifanta ama’e; fe hampidiñeñe ty faliem-pandañitse.
